AN UPDATE FROM SOS MINISTRIES IN UGANDA 5/6/25
 

Dear Friends,

 

The first quarter of 2025 has been so rich with the Lord’s blessing! It went quickly, but we won’t let it pass us by without thanking God and celebrating the work He’s doing here in Uganda. This month, we invite you to rejoice with us for what God is doing in Shepherds Training College!

FIRST DAY OF STC

The first day was met with anticipation and excitement as the new class of STC students walked onto our campus! See their eager anticipation for yourself:

STC IS MARCHING

Shepherds Training College is one term down. In January, another maximum capacity bachelor degree class of students assembled for class with great excitement, fear, and anticipation to be trained at an elite level. They joined the 30 already assembled, joyfully war-torn, 2nd year students. Then, in February, we received a brand new group of 52 certificate level students. The total number of STC students is now 110. And this first term was remarkable. 

 

With our new principal, Mark Rutuna, at the helm, the school took off like a rocket. There has been a buzz around campus. They know they are privileged to be in such an elite institution with remarkable, astute professors coming from all over the world. We are so proud of what God is doing in the hearts and lives of our students. 

 

If that were not exciting enough, we broke ground on our new student center (lecture hall, library, and reading area). The project is progressing slower than we want, probably because our anticipation is so high. But it is moving steadily. We are praising God here, for His hand of blessing is apparent everywhere. 

 

Thank you for your support. Thank you for your prayers. God is moving, and we are overwhelmed with gratitude to God for all that He is doing to transform lives and impact churches. Please keep giving, and please keep praying.

MEET THE STEPANIANS

On our most recent Live Virtual Update, we introduced you to each of our SOS missionary families! John Paul and Sarah Stepanian have been with SOS for 6 years! Listen in on how God is using them at STC:

PRAYER REQUESTS:

1. Pray that God will sharpen the minds and transform the hearts of our STC students.

 

2. Pray that God will give wisdom to the professors to reach the hearts of the students. 

 

3. Pray that God will raise up more STC professors who are effective and powerful in the classroom.

 

4. Pray that our STC students will be shaped and formed into men after God’s own heart.

 

5. Pray that God will give us wisdom to facilitate these soon-to-be-fully prepared men as church planters throughout the country.

 

For the King and His Kingdom,
